Chapter 373: If You Don't Marry
Jiang Chenwei's eyes had already lit up, and she was excitedly holding Shen Lanying's shoulders, her hands were trembling, "Wan'er, you said you were willing to give Fei Jie to me, is that so?"
Tsk, I'm sorry to make you happy.
Shen Lanying still showed her superb acting skills, and said while wiping away her tears, "Wan'er just considered that Feijie, a second-grade official, can't marry two princesses at the same time no matter what, why doesn't the seventh sister believe Wan'er." ”
Before Jiang Chenwei could speak again, Emperor Hui's slightly impatient voice had already come down, "Okay, don't talk about it." Fu'an, you go and find Da Sikong. ”
After instructing the eunuch to find Sikong Yan, Emperor Hui waved his hand again, "Don't kneel, find a place to sit." ”
Emperor Hui is an old ginger, how can he not see that these two daughters are hypocritical?
The two girls' families, in order to fight for a man, made it so unbearable, which made Emperor Hui quite angry in his heart, he originally wanted to say something, but seeing Shen Lanying crying too sadly, the words on his lips were swallowed back by him.
I don't know if it's his delusion or what, since Jiang Yuwan's child returned to the palace, she has become more intimate than before, and even the queen mother is praising her for being more filial than other children.
"Wan'er. Father asked you again, did you mean that you said that you wanted to break the marriage contract with Sikong Yan? ”
Shen Lanying sobbed twice, choked up, "My daughter doesn't dare to deceive her father." Sister Seventh and I can't marry the same man, and Seventh Sister is one year older than me, so she should have married before me. ”
Although the lines were agreed, Shen Lanying's tone was full of reluctance. Emperor Hui had no choice but to give up and waved his hand to let Shen Lanying sit back in his seat.
Sikong's house is not far from the palace, but it takes at least an hour to come and go.
Shen Lanying stopped crying, only maintaining a sad look on her face, secretly thinking in her heart, this time Sikong Yan came to the palace, maybe he could stay all day. Thinking of this, Shen Lanying suddenly became happy, this time she finally had a reason to be righteous and bright, and she didn't let Sikong Yan and Jiang Yuwan stay together.
Jiang Chenwei was still crying over there, I don't know if she wanted to use her tears to win her father's sympathy, or simply cry sadly.
An hour later, Sikong Yan appeared in the Qian'an Palace.
Shen Lanying expected that the careerist had already understood the situation, so she entered the state of acting, turned her head slightly, as if she had been greatly wronged, and avoided Sikong Yan's gaze.
Emperor Hui said, "Fei Jie, the seventh princess said that she has admired you for a long time, wants to marry you, and is willing to be your concubine." This is the ...... What are you going to do?"
Sikong Yan listened respectfully to Emperor Hui's words, showed an extremely complicated expression, looked at Jiang Chenwei, hugged his fists and bowed to her, and said, "Fei Jie is not talented, and he is loved by His Royal Highness, and I am very grateful in my heart." But Fei Jie already belonged in his heart, and he had no intention of remarrying, let alone His Royal Highness. ”
Sikong Yan's meaning is somewhat similar to what Shen Lanying said before, probably saying that a second-rank official cannot marry two princesses at the same time.
Jiang Chenwei's expression was already sluggish, in the past, Sikong Yan was very polite to her, she always spoke politely and kindly, and she always had a warm smile like a spring breeze on her face, she thought that she lowered her body and was willing to be his concubine, Sikong Yan would always be grateful, she never thought that he would refuse so simply.
And the rhetoric turned out to be very similar to Jiang Yuwan's.
A flame rose in Jiang Chenwei's heart for no reason, almost burning all her sanity.
Shen Lanying raised her head, her tearful eyes filled with shock.
Sikong Yan glanced at her sideways, and his expression was firm, and there was a deep love in his expression, which almost made Shen Lanying cry.
Before Sikong Yan could say anything to Shen Lanying, Emperor Hui said again, "But Zhaoying has already expressed his willingness to break the marriage contract with you and let you marry the Seventh Princess." Now that this proposal has been approved by everyone, I would like to ask you what you mean. ”
Hearing the news, Sikong Yan's body was shocked, and then his expression became shocked, "This is really what Wan'er said?"
Emperor Hui raised his finger and pointed at Jiang Yuwan, "You ask yourself." ”
So Sikong Yan walked to Shen Lanying's side step by step, walking very slowly with each step, creating an atmosphere of suppressed sadness, and when he walked up to Shen Lanying, he gave her an unceremonious glance.
"Wan'er, is that what you really told the saint?"
Sikong Yan's tone was full of pain, and no one could have imagined that this thing was throwing a white eye at Shen Lanying.
So Shen Lanying also glanced at him unceremoniously, lowered her head to avoid his burning gaze, suppressed a trembling voice, and said, "I said it." ”
The careerist made a look of being out of control, pressed Shen Lanying's shoulder tightly, and roared, "Why! Why would you say such a thing! You said that you loved me, we said that we would stay together for the rest of our lives, and we would never leave each other, don't you remember these vows!"
Wow, my acting skills have improved! Shen Lanying gave Sikong Yan an admiring look.
"How could I not remember!" Shen Lanying cried and said, "But the seventh sister also loves you, her feelings for you are no less than what I give, and I can't give up my sisterhood with the seventh sister for selfish desires." You married the seventh sister, forget me!"
After Shen Lanying said this, Sikong Yan looked at her in disbelief, her hands trembling slightly. Shen Lanying was sighing that Sikong Yan was so talented in acting, and suddenly Sikong Yan took out a scroll from his arms and threw it to Shen Lanying.
"Wan'er, you said you wanted to marry me and be my wife. These days, I have been preparing the bride price, fantasizing about marrying you into the door, and even discussing the date and hour of the wedding with the Ministry of Rites, but now you say that I will marry someone else?"
Eh, when did you get this expensive thing?
Shen Lanying glanced at the careerist in fascination, then opened the scroll with trembling hands, and then covered her mouth and remained in a state of silent crying.
Shen Lanying moved Sikong Yan out because she couldn't handle Jiang Chenwei's, but she never expected that the careerist would take this opportunity to directly discuss the marriage date with Emperor Hui.
Half an hour later, at the gate of Qian'an Palace.
Sikong Yan pulled Shen Lanying into his arms, carefully wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said distressedly, "You said that your eyes are swollen, and you are crying desperately." How's it going, does it hurt?"
Shen Lanying shook her head and whispered, "It doesn't hurt, I'll be fine in a while." Then again, why did you get the wedding date done so quickly? ”
Sikong Yan held Shen Lanying's hand, pulled her in the direction of Lian'an Palace, and said as he walked, "Jiang Yuxuan and Li Chengyue's side is about the same, the wedding date is a month later, and you can just leave the palace together at that time." ”
